It took about half a minute of fumbling for Harold to find the hole in the wall, and another minute after that to muster the strength to use the handhold to start scaling the wall. When he was done, huffing and puffing atop the wall, he was quite disappointed to find that - for all that effort - he had climbed about three metres. It didn’t matter! cause atleast he was in.

 

Dunharrow wasn’t an ugly town, but the mess of fortifications they’d erected about the lower city and the deep trench they’d dug about the front did it no favours. The town was practically deserted at this time of night, with nary a citizen about and only a platoon’s worth of guards patrolling the long walls fronting the road. Harold was damn lucky to have slipped through the gap in their regimes, considering he’d done very little observation and recording of the guard’s movements.

 

He quickly moved to assist his accomplice, Algarius, up onto the wall, and together they evaded the guards at the outskirts and invaded the city’s depths, searching avidly for their target. Sneaking past shuttered windows and locked doors, merely metres from the Norlandic people, Harold and Algarius moved from alley to alley and street to street in their advance towards the royal hall. Without a doubt, they would have made it all the way there if Algarius’ keen eyes hadn’t caught their target dead on and drawn them both away.

 

They were suddenly delving deep into a large cave system. A distant beating, that of hoofs, and a chorus of neighing drew them onward, past great doors that they had to batter through and through large, stony halls. By the peak of night, they found themselves in the very centre of the Nordengradic cavalry operation, their great warhorses all about the two saboteurs.

 

Algarius and Harold, sharing a look, spoke only a few words, boiling down to; “You get that half,” “And you that half.” As quickly as they found themselves upon it, and stifling their revelry and celebration, they freed each great beast and lashed them all together, stealing off back down the underground network in mere minutes. Storming out of the caves and out onto the roads, the two were running down the front gate before any guard had even raised the alarum. In another complete stroke of skill, two other bandits - the courageous Scran and the battle-hardy Debbie Sugarfoot - were doing their own dastardly work about the gate, and throwing it open for the horse-theives all four stole into the night, racing back to Leuven, leaving many oblivious Norlanders watching after them.. When the morning came, each man arrived at the Allied Command in Reza to receive great congratulations for their actions and cause great celebrations throughout the Empire.

 

In a single night, four venturing young men had destroyed the Renatian cavalry more absolutely than they ever had in the field. Ave Orenia! (and thank GOD for the Renatian incompetency!)

“They’ve yeed their last haw,” proclaimed Lewin, the sheriff of Blackwater, in regards to the Orenian banditos.

Algarius gnaws on a piece of straw with a grand smirk.

"Only one stash, nothing more." Lyonel would chuckle looking at his dead horses, only being left two.
